Yes while Hawks and Iuna each have a diversity of 238, Mercia has only 83. For the Fading Isles both the Retreat and Red Forest have low diversity, yet due to the war with the White Company Red Forest only has 3 estates, and Retreat has always been small so I guess the diversity of Prydhain and Ras Igilgili Dominate. Prydhain has always confused me, it has High Diversity yet three of its four realms have low diversity and a quick look at the map shows that within each sub realm the settlements tend to be held by very few nobles. Perhaps I don't quite understand Realm Diversity properly.

If all the subrealms have low diversity, but the players within each subrealm are different, then the total realm can have a higher diversity than the subrealms, because there are so many different players in it. Also, sometimes the major also has estates of its own, which could further influence the diversity rating.

Is it based on how many players are in the realm? Or how many players hold estates in the realm?

I'm not sure the exact logic Tom used for diversity scores, but I was curious how each realm was looking, so I crunched some numbers.

Of realms that have more than 10 players, from best to worst based on Players:Estates are: Western Confederation, Grand Fate, Erstes Imperium, Tel'Ajin, Hawks, Ascalon, Lowlands, and Eldamar; in that order. Characters to Estates does the exact same order.

Now, because it looked like fun, realms with the most characters per player, top to bottom, that have more than a single player: TurindiŽ, Eldamar, Tel'Ajin, Hawks, Arrakesh, Rathgar, Erstes Imperium, Ascalon, Grand Fate, Lowlands, The Kingdom of Karameikos, Children of Armok, Strenvale, Totaria, Western Confederation, Sarantium Nova, Suaralis, Tiberian Republic, Borgia, Quendor, Tetsuyama, The Totarian Kingdom.

And because I'm running numbers anyways...

There are 937 characters in 27 realms, played by 291 active players, commanding 29.5k soldiers actively, with another 129k as militia, fighting 7 battles, and having ordered some percentage of the 1.6 million workers to build 814 structures (adding 2% to the existing count of 36.4k buildings).

So about 9% of the world population are soldiers. As opposed to the 0.6% of the modern world (from a quick google search, dont take my word on it). 27 realms though, is that like all sovereign ones or is it all subrealms aswell?

Sovereign realms.
